An act to amend Section 253 6328 of the Labor Code, relating to safety in employment.

Summary

AB 1110 makes a narrow change to California workplace safety notice requirements. Under existing law, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health must prepare a notice for employers to post that explains workers’ safety rights and provides contact information for the nearest division office. This bill would add the email address of the nearest division office to that required notice, alongside the existing address and telephone number. The bill also includes a separate amendment to Labor Code Section 253 governing seasonal labor wage disputes, but that portion appears to be a nonsubstantive cleanup change rather than a policy change. The seasonal labor provision continues to require the Labor Commissioner to decide wage disputes and to reject deductions for gambling and liquor debts incurred during employment.

Impact

AB 1110 would amend Labor Code Section 6328 to require employer-posted workplace safety notices to include the nearest Division of Occupational Safety and Health office’s email address. This affects employers that must post the notice, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, and workers who may use the added contact method to report unsafe conditions or request inspections. The bill also makes a nonsubstantive revision to Labor Code Section 253 concerning seasonal labor wage disputes, without changing the underlying rule on wage deductions.

Sentiment

The available record suggests the bill was received favorably and encountered little to no opposition. It received a unanimous 6-0 do-pass vote in committee and was advanced, indicating broad support for the limited, administrative nature of the change. There is no committee transcript in the record, but the bill’s narrow scope and technical update likely contributed to the positive reception.

Contention

There is no clear substantive controversy reflected in the available materials. The only potentially notable issue is that the bill combines a workplace safety notice update with a separate seasonal labor code cleanup, which may have been included for drafting or technical reasons rather than as a major policy package. Because the change is limited to adding an email address to an existing notice requirement, the measure does not appear to raise significant policy disputes among employers, workers, or regulators.
